well, folks, the diet is on hold while I recover from this last tooth extraction, which has been an order of magnitude worse than I expected or have experienced in the past, and leaves me unable to eat... pretty much everything except liquids and semi-liquids. Under the circumstances, I think weight loss can take a back seat for now. (But only for now.)

Meanwhile... I swore I wasn't going to use this journal for anything but diet updates, but this is really something that needs to be said...

People? Don't tell me about other people's journals, okay?

Because I don't need to know. If I'm not talking to the people in question, there's a reason; and their journals usually make those reasons obvious in great glaring detail -- and while there is a certain amount of emotional validation for me in seeing that this is so, I really don't need the aggravation of revisiting old toxic relationships again. And while there are occasions when I probably *should* know what's being said -- for instance, when it's about me and it's outright slander -- I do not, at this time, need the aggravation of taking on legal hassles. In the end, my own time is more valuable to me than cracking down on someone else's petty lies. Those types are usually incredibly good at undermining their own arguments, and almost always display their true colors in short order; why should I waste my time bringing about a destruction that they're already causing for themselves anyway?

Frankly, I don't give a damn what's being said about me. My friends know better, my enemies will say it anyway, and I don't base my own self-worth on someone else's opinions thereof. I know exactly who and what I am, and the rantings of lunatic children don't make a damn bit of difference to that, or to me.

So while I appreciate the intentions of those who would make me aware of situations which they feel should come to my attention... please don't. Okay?

Thanks.

More updates on the diet when my mouth heals enough for solid food. :)
